Still missing! Where is Pfc. Keith Maupin???
In June 2004 we moved to the beautiful State of Washington to join our family and going back to our roots! My husband's GG-Grandfather, who was a doctor and teacher, settled in Skagit County in 1870. He also helped built the La Conner Court House that (we were told) burned down about 10 years ago.
Originally from Nuremberg, Bavaria/Germany, proud US citizen since January 23, 2002!!! I'm happily married for 16 years in May 2006 and we have one daughter. She is in drivers ed (help!). Hubby is a Network Engineer. I work at a big Health Insurance Company and I am a second degree black belt in Taekwondo, had a car accident and now after a two-year break I will return to study Seito Shito-Ryu (japanese Karate)
We have a Westhighland Terrier, two cats, also five Betafisch, two birds and one hermit crab. I realize we have a zoo :)
My Husband (jayp56) is a combat veteran of Desert Storm, 4/2nd ACR, Black Hawk Helicopters (gunner and crew chief). Both his Grandfathers served on the "USS Washington" and with the "Flying Tigers" during WWII. God bless our troops!
